August 13, 201016 yr Thanks Ian.Ian are you close to Forres? Earth calling Billy! It is not Ian, Billy! It is Donald. In answer to your question though, and as another leftie, add having done them thumb things on quads and such, i still would not change. Not to say that there have not been bouts in the past with the slack hand getting weak on jumps and downhills and such, it just happens. Must adjust(mentally) if possible! As all a trade off! Right now in this heat, of about 105f today, everything goes quickly! About 30 min of riding in the back last weekend had my head dizzy and boots sloshing with sweat!
August 13, 201016 yr Author Cope Slapshot is Ian. Not Donald! You are Mark, I am William. Now go empty your tea pot! There is bunch of us going to Bridgeport Saturday am, care to tag along! My local cell 480-414-9267 BillyT
August 27, 201015 yr Intersting point in this weeks MCN regarding lefties. Eugene Laverty (Worls Supersport rider) commented that he feels that being left handed helped him. He quoted the following road racing world champions as left handed: Wayne Gardner Kevin Schwantz Freddie Spencer Wayne Rainey Mick Doohan Carl Fogarty Valentino Rossi Coincidence or what?
August 27, 201015 yr Slapshot really is Donald Young and he's about 100 miles from Forres. I'm about 60 miles.
August 27, 201015 yr Actually Donald is really Duncan (in my mind anyway) When I first read this post I thought it was conservative v's labour !
August 27, 201015 yr Left right up down.... the Vincent had an upside-down shift action. Barmy but brilliant more tan once i shifted the wrong way.
August 28, 201015 yr After 17yrs of marriage I can use my left or my right also. Does your wife know ?
August 28, 201015 yr Does your wife know ? Her opinion is "At least your doing something for yourself for a change"
